Answer and Explanation:


(\sin(\theta))/(\cos(\theta)) \cdot (1)/(\tan(\theta)) = 1

In this problem, we need to verify the identity using the given equation.

First, rewrite tangent using its definition.


\tan(\theta) = (\sin(\theta))/(\cos(\theta))


(\sin(\theta))/(\cos(\theta)) \cdot (1)/((\sin(\theta))/(\cos(\theta))) = 1

Next, simplify the fraction on the right.


(\sin(\theta))/(\cos(\theta)) \cdot (\cos(\theta))/(\sin(\theta)) = 1

Finally, cancel the cosine and sines in the numerator and denominator.


\frac{\\ot{\cos(\theta)} \cdot \\ot{\sin(\theta)}}{\\ot{\cos(\theta)} \cdot \\ot{\sin(\theta)}} = 1


1 = 1
